Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Add the butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be distributed evenly throughout the flour.
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small pieces. Ensure the apple pieces are of uniform size for even baking.
Add the diced apple, brown sugar, and spice mix to the flour mixture. Stir until the apple pieces are evenly coated and the ingredients are incorporated.
Gradually add a small amount of milk (approximately 2-3 tablespoons) to the mixture while stirring, just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones can be enjoyed plain or with a dab of butter or a drizzle of honey.
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is cold when you combine it with the flour mixture. This helps create a flakier texture in the scones.
- Use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweetness of the sugar and spice.
- Do not overmix the dough; mix until just combined to ensure the scones remain light and airy.
- If you prefer, you can add nuts or raisins to the dough for extra texture and flavor.
- For a golden finish, brush the tops of the scones with a bit of milk or egg wash before baking.
With their inviting aroma and delightful flavor, spiced apple dessert scones are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy these scones with a cup of tea or coffee, and savor the homemade goodness. Remember to experiment with different spices and add-ins to create your unique twist on this classic recipe.
